A scream in the dark a splash of red the nothing, I'm running in the dark black of a power outage that happened in my mom's place and some thing was chasing me and when I looked behind me all I saw was darkness, but I heard them talking to each other, at least I think they were talking. It was a more like a chattering noise. My mother's last words "Don't trust any one don't talk to any one..." They echoed threw out the hallway. I just keep running trying to get away from what ever it was that was chasing me. When I looked back there were hundreds of red glowing dots and moving silhouettes of black. They looked like the shadow of a ten foot tall multi legged lizards. I was so intent to look at these strange looking monsters that were trying to kill me that I ran into the door. In full panic mode I begin to push the door instead of pull. Just in the knick of time I pulled the door open and ran to the closet where I found my mother's weapon, a clear bladed sword that my mother called a devil's arm. All I knew it was my mother's and I didn't want any one else to have it. I opened the trap door and ran down the secrete passage way that lead to a safe place, or so my mother told me.
I found myself in the sewers I followed the sewer to the surface and ended up right in front of the police station. I just keep running, suddenly I found myself in a dead end alley way. I turned and was trapped in a corner, with the eyes getting closer and closer with no were to go. They open their mouth and I can feel the hot breath form their mandibles...
BEEP BEEP BEEP...damn alarm clocks I pulled out my gun and shoot the clock. I rolled over and got out of bed took a hot shower and got dressed. My accessories of choice my mom's sword and my two guns, dragon and phoenix. I dropped my self over the railing of the Devil May Cry.
I looked at my 'dad' he was lounging at his desk. I turned to the door and started to walk out the door. "Hey, where are you going?"
I angry pointed to the door, damn it I'm not a baby. I angry walked to the door.
"Don't get yourself killed," he told me.
Living with my dad isn't what I wanted to do, I wanted to find my mother's soul and get my voice back. I haven't spoken a word since that day that she was taken from me by demons. Now I will kill the demon who keeps her soul captive and free it so I can finally be free. But first I was going to a club unlike my father who works when something big, interesting, nasty, and hard comes to town. I do what ever I can so that I can get enough money to get bus fair, rent an apartment, or to just go party.
Right now I'm looking for a place called Lady Killer, what a name I know that it would be easier if I could talk, but since that is well out of the question I've learned to take a different approach listen to conversation with out being noticed. I slipped into a bar and sat in a corner. I used local prattle, rumors, and gossip to find out the information I needed. The hardest thing in the world is to be mute in a talking world.
I heard the key phrase Lady Killer in a couple conversations, but only one sounded like the place I was looking for, it was a club for lonely people looking for a good party atmosphere, some of what the two women were saying it is rumored to take more than you blues several girls have gone missing after visiting the popular club. Each girl was going threw a rough patch and were missing for only a day before they were found all bodily fluids gone and not one way to explain how they were mummified so quickly and from the way thing looked they were mummified alive. This sounded promising at least more promising than several other 'reliable' resources could give me.
I learned the actual name of the club was The Lonely Heart. I also got a fairly good idea were the building was and headed out. No one had even attempted to wait on me at this establishment how inhospitable. I wandered down to the club and saw it was really popular so that would mean that I would have no trouble getting into the place. I looked and only good looking people were being let in, I also noticed that the people being let in were mostly girls that looked less that thirty and hardly any guys. Strange, considering the name is called The Lonely Heart, but I knew right away from the scent of blood this was the place, the smell got worse as I got closer to the entrance.
As soon as I got to the entrance, "Hold it ID."
The bouncer told me, so I gave him my student identification, so I was just wrapping up my final year I'm only eighteen. He looked at it for a second, gave it to me and let me into the building. Lucky for me.
I weaved my way into the crowd and sat at the bar, I sat down and looked over the menu and waited for some one to approach me. I didn't have to wait long some one did indeed approach me and he smelt like some kind of slaughter house, "You know you are really are hot," he did seem to have a flattering voice. I could see how people would be won over by this silver tongued demon, but I wasn't normal. But I just smiled at him and nodded acting like a naive little human girl that didn't have much luck looking for mister right. I couldn't understand why he was so silver tongued and yet was so ugly, come on not only do people become demons to gain power the want other things like wealth and such.
I let him prattle on and on. This guy really liked to hear himself talk, I kept myself in check I didn't want to alarm the populace just yet and I didn't want my quarry to run away just yet. So I would have to get him alone in his lair. Father has told me time and a gain that going into a demon's den is a good way to get yourself killed, because you never know what could be lurking down there or what kind of traps there were. Told is one way of putting it he more or less took me into the den when I were just starting out I was protected by him and was expected to be able to at least keep myself safe enough so that we both could come out of it alive.
He gave me allot of advice such as if I meet Lady to never take a job from her if she wants to kill every demon that I might be on her to do list, besides her jobs are so boring. Luca was confident enough in her own abilities that she wouldn't ask me any way, and Trish she rarely show and if I would let her she would exploit me to her advantage.
These three women dad knew sounded like demons more than human except Lady. I also made my own knowledge on them when they would visit when I was little I would be upstairs and I would listen in on the conversations. I knew what was expected of me being Dante's daughter was hard enough, but being the grand daughter of Sparta made things difficult. Not only that my mother was the last of her kind of devil she was like dad half human and half devil. I was also the grand daughter of the Queen of Darkness. The Queen of Darkness, as she was called before she sided with humans, was powerful in the fact that she could take the powers of other demons and make them her's for all time. Not only did I inherit them but I have been able to gain my own to add to the list. I didn't want the powers they just came to me.
I followed the man and the lead me to the exit in the back of the club private was written on the door. I acted like a girl who wasn't use to getting herself into dangerous situations or doing illegal things.
"Come on I know the owner and he doesn't mind just as long as you don't sue him, alright?"
I just nodded and followed him into the den and kept my guard up at all times. I just didn't feel right dying after all I hadn't freed my mother's soul, and I kind of promised dad I'd say alive today, not to mention I had no intention of dying to a low level demon such as this one.
He quickly came up behind me and blocked the only exit, "And now you die."
He really didn't know me very well did he? I gave him a ya-right look and pulled out Phoenix and Dragon and just smiled.
"Tell me what are you going to do with those," He gave a chuckle.
With his mockery still fresh in my head I gave him a shot to the face and just kept pulling the triggers until his face was the riddled with holes and I watched as his face started to reassemble, Good I was afraid of getting bored. I felt myself smile genuinely.
When his face reformed, "Damn that hurt you bitch."
Like getting your face blown to bits was suppose to feel good dumb ass. His shape changed to a disgusting cross between a fish and a giant lizard, no gills. I had a suspicion that he wasn't in on this endeavor a lone, so I kept my wits about and my senses sharp. I pulled out Invisible and attacked the demon I hacked down quick and before the blade hit the ground I quickly reversed direction, hacked left, reverse momentum, and for the big finish spin slash right-left all before he could react he was gone before the ground even felt a drop of his crimson blood. His body decomposed into a gelatinous substance. I knew that I was right I just had to be patient and cautious. A sudden burst of energy from the side and I was caught unprepared and took the full burst into my ribs, Now if that wasn't stupid. I thought to myself.
I took the blade and gouged the ground as I took a low drive to the ambusher. Mr. Ambush rode the force up wards to four feet into the air and was cut cleanly in half and I followed the momentum of the sword and hacked down splitting the creature in fourth; as I was falling down I sheathed the sword and pulled the triggers on the guns and stayed in the air for several seconds longer.
I will kill you, I heard from the dark shadow and I immediately honed in on the demon and shot until it wouldn't get up under its own power again. The room was filled with rotting demon corpses and I was covered in demon juice. Well what ever they're dead and I'm not what do I care. Now to see Yumi and get my reward. If she doesn't pay I will be very sore after all the trouble of this and the promise she gave me.
I strolled out of the storage room to find a room of demons; this is one hell of a party.
I hacked, slashed, shot, smashed, sliced and diced the demon band, the demon party goers, the demon staff and the demons bouncers. This was a very good night to be a demon hunter, not such a good night to be a demon. I only got kicked several times, shot once, stabbed a couple of times, and broke a rib not bad for my first solo mission. I'm sure that things will only get worse as time goes and time goes on, I can hardly wait.
I walked out of the club and was glared at by a woman, she had one blue eye and one red eye, short brown hair, and she looked some what familiar. She some how seemed to threaten my very existence, I shrugged and turned around. "Hold it demon."
I turned back to her I gave her a what look, "Tell me who are you! And why are you here!"
Demanding geesh, I pulled out a piece of paper and pen wrote, "Nova." I wrote on the paper and handed it to her.
"Nova, what kind of name is that for a demon."
I wrote, "One my mother gave me, now if you don't mind I have to finish off this demon hunt and go home."
"So you're a demon hunter, too, I find that hard to believe," she told me and pulled out a gun and shot at me.
I took out my own pair and fired bullets into her bullets as they came out of the gun the ones that came out too fast I dodged them easy enough. I was fine and she was out of bullets when things seemed to settle down, I was half way threw a turn when she pulled out this mammoth gun, and shot out a missile I quickly hitched a ride down the missile, surfing on a missile threw the half disserted side walks cut my travel time in half. The missile harmlessly hit a cliff face and blew a semi large hole into it.
You know I think she was trying to kill me, what did I do to her. Crazy chicks should never be allowed to buy guns or weapons for that matter.
I met Yumi and she thanked me and thanked me for letting her sister's soul rest in peace. Bla bla bla I had to endure it until she gave me my money, a grand total of three thousand dollars. Not bad for some thing that my dad could do.
I took the money and went home.
I took a short cut back to Devil May Cry; the 'D' flickered off for a second then back on. evil May Cry, now if that isn't interesting. I opened the door and dad wasn't there, with out even leaving me a note. I really didn't need a note to know what most likely happened; dad had lost yet another bet and was out doing a job that he most likely really didn't want to do.
I felt like I was being watched, demon or that girl Patty. Dad wouldn't leave Patty alone in his shop especially how she redecorated it before. I was ready for what ever came my way I wasn't some kind of stupid kid that was just going to let father keep me safe and protected. I opened dad's top drawer and threw my rent for the month in, and a note, one thousand dollars was just enough to keep me in the house and fed for the month. That left me with plenty for the next week, I had to go to school tomorrow. I in the bath room and turned on the light, I looked in the mirror. I healed the wounds on my face so that I looked as normal as a teen aged demon born demon hunter could look. As I walked out of the bath room a demon dropped from the rafters, "Die."
Not again, come on dad. That's not funny. I thought as I pushed my father a side after shooting him in the chest.
"You're getting faster, Nova," was he complementing me, "and none to soon, I have a job for you."
What the Hell, dad I have to go to school tomorrow, and... I looked at my watch, its already midnight. I guess I can squeeze just one more job in before I go to sleep.
I wrote, "It better not be dull," and handed it to him.
He read it, I know it amazes me too that he could actually read, "Come on you talking to me, when do I except anything but the best?"
I wrote him, "When you lose a bet."
He took the note when I got to the l-o part in it and ripped it from my hand, "I didn't lose a bet."
I smiled with satisfaction; I knew I hit the nail on the head. "If you're so smart here. It is now your job."
I wrote him, "Since when did I become you employee?" and angry trusted it into his hands.
"Don't you give me crap, Nova. Finish the job. I have a previously made job," dad wasn't likely to line up two jobs, some things not right.
I threw up my arms in aggravation, Fine; I thought in a rage, I'll do it. But I'm not responsible for the damages.
"And yes, Nova, you are going to be responsible fro the damage you cause."
I left the shop slamming the door, and the door slipped off its hinges, I read the note I was half a mile away, I was going in the right direction. Dad always made me so pissed off. The note was one to go to the corner of 6th and Nirvana avenue, that I would be contacted by Lady. What the hell, dad. You are so going to get it when I get home. If not sooner.
I found the right corner and leaned on the wall, Dad, you yourself told me that Lady's missions were boring. What did I do to deserve boredom?
Suddenly the girl with the rocket launcher was standing in front of me; this just keeps getting better and better. I kept my hands out in front of me and tried to show her that I didn't really want to fight her, but I could and would if forced to.
"You again, this time I'm going to kill you."
What is it with me that people just want to kill me, did I accidentally put on the kill me cologne. Before she even pulled out one of her guns I placed dad's note in front of her and wrote, "Like it or not, I'm not interested in killing you. I waiting for some one. Dad's little revenge." I gave her my note I made.
She read the notes, "So Dante's not coming. I should have figured, when he said that he would get me...why this little..."
"I wouldn't finish that if I were you, I haven't made you any promises just yet." I informed her, in weighting.
"How do you know Dante?" She asked me.
"What dose it matter? I just want to know what the job is so I can go home and get some sleep before I have to go to school tomorrow." I wrote. I must write fast because the pencil started to smoke and smoldered.
"You act just like, him." She informed me, "Follow me."
I followed her to my school, "What are we doing at my school?" I wrote.
"Because some demons have made a nest in the park next door. So this is wear you go to school, Nova?"
"What dose it matter?" I wrote.
"You don't talk much do you?"
"Very observant, I'm mute. I can't talk. What dose it matter actions speak louder than words."
I saw the nest of demons; they were numerous like a horde of ants working on an ant hill. There couldn't be more than one hundred. Where's the fun in this? Are they asking to be exterminated? Stupid. Not my problem.
"I need you to kill that queen," She pointed to a very gelatinous snot sack stuck in a tree. I watched as some slime skidded off of it and another one of the demons form from it.
"Better yet, why don't you stay here and I kill the entire thing."
"You really do act like Dante, cocky, foolish, and you don't like to share. But go ahead."
"Like father like daughter," I wrote and thru it back to her as I confident in my abilities.
They immediately noticed me and started to attack me a few swipes with Invisible and I had killed the first wave. Not very strong demons, pity. I shot the next wave I was making progress like if I was walking. I finally reached the bloated queen. I figured that if I hacked it more little gnats would come out and play, the same if I shot it, So I figured out using the force of demon fire on it and burn it away, Lady and I already made a deal on money I'd get half of what ever is made, before expenses are taken out. I burned the damn queen to ash and all her little cronies went the way of their queen.
I went to were she was she was surrounded by some creatures; I took out a weapon my dad gave me on my sixteenth birthday, Cerberus. The three handled nun chuck with ice powers within. I whipped it around and helped the demons to their graves. At the end of the fight I slipped it back into the back of my pants.
That was too easy, what's the catch?
I caught the flickering movement and a flash of light I shoved Lady out of the way and shot in the direction hitting a demon, Bingo, on the money. Big guy in the shadows. May be he'll be a bit more fun, perhaps not.
I lost sight of him as something else caught my attention, ambush and surrounded. Lady was still down I shot at several of the fleet shadows killing several of the demons. I can tell really easy red eyes are a dead giveaway.
They were just about killed when Lady regained her senses and started to kill some.
The end of the battle and there wasn't much damage done to the school. Looks like I would have to go to school today. I looked at my watch, two in the morning. Shit just my luck.
NOT only do I have school tomorrow, or today, but I have a marathon of tests to do. Man how I hate school. I started back, "Hey, your pretty good, and you didn't leave a wave of destruction like your father," she complemented me.
I shrugged, and headed back to Devil May Cry. I went to my room got some clean clothing went back down stairs and took a bath in the only working bathroom. I took my dirty demon blood soaked clothing back upstairs and threw my clothing in a corner. I flopped on my bed, school again in about three hours, and I wouldn't be able to sleep today, just my luck. But at least I had some thing to tell my friends today, should I really care to tell them.
I looked with full disgust at my school bag, if that isn't a dead give away that says "Demon hunter going to school," to the demons in this burnt out city.
Well I have two hours to kill before I have to start my walk to school, what the hell am I suppose to do till then. I don't want to wake dad up again. I did that all last week. I'm bored, there hasn't been a computer made fast enough to keep up with me. Same goes for game counsels. When I have to type some thing on the computer I have to pay some one to do it for me so I don't down every with in a ten mile radius.
I watched the sky line, demon hunting done for another five days. I began to through pencils into the ceiling I have countless pencils hanging from the ten foot ceiling. I don't know how long it was before I ran out of pencils again. I jumped up and grabbed a fist full and landed quietly on the floor. Father opened the door and shut the door just as I let loose a volley of pencils to the door and he swatted them away with his sword, but he missed one and it imbedded itself into his shoulder. He pulled it out and threw it back to me.
I dodged out of the way, "So how did it go?"
I shrugged, what else could I do, I mean it wasn't boring, it wasn't really exciting, it was just there. I grabbed a pencil stub and shoved it into my school bag. I looked at my watch, I still had another hour left before I had to go. I figured might's as well get ready to go. I listened as the door shut, "You're a pain in the ass."
"Look who's talking," I wrote on a scrap piece of paper.
Some thing just wasn't kosher about my 'father' he just seemed to stare at the piece of paper like he couldn't read, I pulled out a small weapon and was about to attack when I saw my father behind my father. Just as that happened, "So you saw threw my little ploy son of Sparta, but to late." I felt a force hit my chest and I was falling back wards. I landed on the ground? I was up to my eyes in grass and was covered in dirt, I stood up and began to dust my clothing off with disgust. What the hell? Give me a break.
I looked around and there was nothing out of the ordinary, then the demon came crashing threw the air, and if I was a fraction of a second slower I would have had a javelin in my thought, I retaliated with my gauntlets with punches and kicks, and they were called Beowulf. Wonders never cease, he took the force of the fist combo attack that I gave him that couldn't be good. He struck me threw the chest with his javelin, what luck. I snapped it from his hands and pulled out my guns and started to pull the trigger until he stopped twitching. He decomposed quite quickly. I looked at the stick in between my breast, Damn, I hope it doesn't bleed or leave a scar.
I forced it threw the rest of the way if some one saw me it wasn't my problem; this weapon wasn't even worth using as one of my own. A worthless little trinket. I put my guns away and picked up my school bag. I'm going to be so late and it wasn't even my fault, thanks dad for bringing your work home with you.
I shouldered the bag with all my note books, pencils, gym clothing, a change of clothing, several weapons (my guns, Cerberus, Beowulf, Nevan, and Invisible.), a change of boots, a couple pairs of fighting gloves, and whatever else I felt like shoving into it, like lunch. Damn I didn't even get breakfast. I looked around, and saw a native. If things couldn't get more interesting.
I shrugged and walked over to her, but what did I expect she started to run away. Hey, wait I'm not the one of the,...awe hell.
I gave up even trying to talk to her and came to the conclusion that some thing isn't right with this place, it may be just me but I didn't feel like this was even the right planet. I guess that I really should have asked questions first and then killed it. Well it's too late to have regrets now. I headed off to the opposite direction the woman when, If I go that way they have already pegged me as a monster, too much, red tape.
I didn't know nor did I really care if it went to another village or town. I'm stuck in the middle of no where, and I didn't even know if there would be any work for a demon hunter in this part of the world, hell I didn't know if they would except my money, let alone have anything worth wild.
I wandered the grassland until it gave way to waist lands I followed it to what amounted to a deserted city, from the looks of things it couldn't have been deserted for more than a few years. I leaned up against the glass wall. Well there is definitely no records or reports about a city having to be abandoned with something over top of it, if there was I would have had to watch it when I went to current events class. So I knew that that was a dimensional transport that I fell threw. I didn't know were I was going to head to now. I had to think of a way to get home, details, details details. I picked out a random weapon I was bored and in need of some thing to do. I pulled out Navan and looked at it the story dad gave me about this demon arm was interesting to say the least. I began to play the electric guitar and just think some thing I don't do much of.
I took aim at the glass and just began to play with some notes, electrified bats rammed themselves into the glass, and not so much as a crack and I only play heavy metal none of that woozy other kind's music.
I wasn't too bored when I played with the electric strings of Navan. I used the scythe that was tucked away inside to hit the glass. It didn't even leave so much as a scratch. I don't know what possessed me to just take out all my pent up dark energies on the wall, but it was infuriating. I put Navan away and pulled out Cerberus, and began to use my expertise on the wall. I was having a field day. I just couldn't freeze the wall and break it, so I used Beowulf and began to punch and kick with reverence that didn't do anything either. I was impressed but not by much. I still had Invisible and my custom pair of guns. I was giving myself a work out, at least I wasn't bored any more. I picked up my guns and started to shoot. I put them away. Still nothing, well I'm all out of ideas. That would be a good armor if the demons ever found it, but they are not that smart... and if I couldn't break it they wouldn't be able to do so either.
I leaned back on the wall; I looked at my things and thought about picking them up, so I just did. I didn't want to have them end up in the wrong hands. I put the full bag on the ground far enough away so I could use it as a foot rest and I had put Cerberus into the seat of my pants and leaned against the wall. I was bored again. I leaned back and felt the ground shake under my ass, I turned my head to see that the pebbles on the ground were jumping up and down; Something big is coming this way.
I looked at the direction that the waves were radiating from, to see a flock of birds take flight, not long after that I saw a big oversized bull like thing that was pink, I picked up my bag and used some effort and jumped up top of the clear wall and put it on a wide platform, it would take some force before that would come down and if it did I would just retrieve it.
I looked towards the creature and saw a couple people running ahead of it.
I dropped down for a closer look, "Hey, could you give us a hand?" one of the people shouted over the thunder of the rampaging animals hooves. I pulled out phoenix and dragon, and rushed the behemoth shoving the two men out of the way. I ducked under the beast and shot several times into its abdomen. I nearly got clocked in the head.
It stopped when I was out from under it turned with amazing speed considering the size of the beastie. It came barreling at me. Chicken, let's see whose chicken.
It charged and so did I the two guys shouted something, but I wasn't about to back down. It kicked at me and I took its leg in my arms and kept on moving back toward its back side flipping the beastie on its back, and whilst doing this attack I inadvertently broke the creature's neck. It was dead.
I let go of the creature's leg and jumped up my bag and took it down. The two guys seemed to have been impressed by what I did, but what challenge was it to kill a creature that didn't even have enough brains to smell the difference in my body. My demon blood.
What ever. I got a good look at the big guy he looked strong, he was bald, was wearing shades, a neat suit and tie, he had some earrings on his left ear. Not bad looking. The other guy had long red hair put up in a pony tail, he wore goggles on his head, he had two red lines on his face it looked to be some kind of tattoo, he was also wearing a suit, but unlike the other guys it wasn't tucked in and his coat wasn't buttoned, his eyes seemed to be either a blue or a green color. I jumped down from the clear wall and landed easily in front of them. I didn't even bend my knees, I heard a snap from my foot, my leg, hip up to my back. From the looks on their faces they had heard the breaking of my bones too. I mended fast and continued to walk away.
"Hey, you ok?" The bald man asked.
I nodded, what it was only twenty feet, I fell off a ten story building last week.
"Did you break any thing?" the red head stood in my way.
I shook my head.
"Man do you talk?" He asked me.
I kicked the bottom of my bag and out popped a pad of paper and a pencil; I caught them in mid air and wrote, "Mute."
I put the pad and pencil into my pockets, and handed him the note.
"Whoa, you are talented." he told me.
I was just about to push on threw, when I heard, "You need a job?"
I shrugged, I'll make do.
I looked into his eyes, he was good looking. I thought about why he was running from such a weak creature.
"Hey, that thing can crush you or it will gore you with those horns, Whoa, whoa, whoa I thought you said you were mute."
I think I absorbed a power from that...may be I can use its telecommunications to communicate with the rest of the world. May be this wasn't such a bad day after all.
"I did, but I guess," I turned to him, "you think this is talking."
"Whoa, your lips aren't moving," He seemed to freak out.
"I'm talking with my mind, telepathy," I conveyed to him.
I began to walk away, "Hang on do you want a job?" The red head seemed to like to hear himself talk.
"If the pay is right," I told him, "and there is more of a challenge than these...Dual Horns."
I kick the creature at my feet for infancies.
"You seem to like the dangerous jobs," the one called Reno said.
"They're the fun ones," I told them with my mind, this was so much more covenant than writing it down on a piece of paper.
"Whoa, your one of those crazy chicks," Reno seemed to like skating on thin ice.
"I like the challenge."
"Before we take her to Tseng we should take her to Golden Saucer, may be we can get some money off of her when she fights in the battle arena," Reno seemed to think that I was a circus attraction, "Make sure she has her fill of fighting, and perhaps see the extent of her abilities."
I chuckled to myself, get my fill of fighting, "Prepare for a long week boys."
"Care to put some gil were your mouth is?"
Gil damn all I have is cold hard green from my world. When I didn't open my mouth for a few minuets, "What are you chicken?"
I looked at him, "Do I look like I have money, keh, idiot."
"How about we do it this way, you give me you check for a week if you don't last one week?"
Ok, if I had to give him a weeks worth of pay he would have to give me some thing in return that would be equal to that so what would that be, but suddenly I remembered my father's luck with betting, I wonder if I have my mother's or my father's luck. "And if I last?"
"Name it," this Reno character was sure confident of himself to the point of arrogance.
I saw some thing glow in his arm, so I pointed to it. Rude gave Reno a smirk, "You have a good eye."
He took it out and handed it to Rude, "You keep the prizes. So we can't go back on it."
I wrote an IOU my fist weeks pay if blah, blah, blah.
"Oh, right you can't change your weapons in the middle of battle in the battle arena."
I was hard pressed there because of the simple fact I enjoy using all my weapons the same, I figured that the rules from home carried over to this world. That there would be some enemies immune to special kind's elements that are attached to the weapons that I have. So I would have to choose one with out an elemental attachment, lets see that would either be my Invisible or my guns.
"If I find out you cheated me, the Dual Horn will not be the only one needing a grave," I warned him.
"Yesh, your one scary lady."
"Only honest," I told him.
I followed him to a helicopter, "come on you want me to ride inside of that? You're joking."
"How else would you rather travel, by foot?"
"I hate small places."
" Well what are you going to do ride on the outside all the way to golden saucer? Sorry babe but that's a four hour ride."
I grabbed on the ring on the side of the chopper and planted my feet on the thin rail, "That's not even an exercise."
"You really are a crazy girl, what ever. Get yourself killed for all I care."
He started the chopper and started to take off, the down draft wasn't even challenging. When were above the ocean, or I assumed it was the ocean. I was walking the bar without holding on to the side of the helicopter. I walked to the front of the bird looked in and smiled at the pilot, Reno. The look was priceless. He let go of the stick and the chopper went down suddenly I repositioned myself just in time for him to stop the sea ward plummet. I slipped for a moment and held on with my knees I was at the end of the front end of the chopper so I decided I should try to make the jump to the other side. Lets give cocky little Reno a heart attack. I swung just enough to grab a hold of the bottom of the chopper and only had one thought going threw my head, this is exciting.
I flipped myself onto the other bar and flipped myself up beside Reno he was looking behind the chopper on a monitor. Then he looked out the window. I tapped on the window, he gave me a strange startled look then he looked at me in confusion, the last look was one of complete anger. He jerked the chopper to the right suddenly. We landed on what looked like a giant golden saucer.
I jumped off at thirty feet above the platform. When they finally reached the platform the chopper propellers hadn't even stopped spinning before Reno came out, "What the hell? You trying to give me a heart attack?"
"I'm alive stop worrying," I told him.
"Damn it you don't worry enough." he scolded me.
I looked at him, "Don't you want me to do something?"
I led me to the battle arena, "I would like to enter Nova into the hardest battle in battle arena."
"Is this alright with you Nova?"
I nodded.
I dropped off my other weapons, "I want these back Reno, and I better get these exact ones back."
I pulled out Invisible and cracked my neck. I was shown a door to the main battle arena, "Today's challenger is Nova from parts unknown, age unknown. She is challenging the master's free-for-all battle with out limit. She is taking her life into her own hands; let's just see how well she does."
I pulled out Invisible and watched as a giant snake came out of the door opposite of me then a second then a third; two more came out then the door shut. "Let the games begin."
I wiped the floor with them. I was attacked by a large what looked like a cross between a centaur, and a panther. It attacked me with a fire ball that came from its mouth, This could be an interesting fight. I killed it with one swing, maybe not.
I just beat every enemy for at least one week and was getting bored, until they put me in with a pair of Dual Horns and a pair of Dragons.
"This is unprecedented; she is still standing after a week of fighting. It seems she has limitless power hidden within her body."
Limitless Power hu? Not like I said I wasn't stronger.
It took some time before I killed the first Dual Horn I didn't really have a much of a choice it was kill it by using the dragon's flame or take the full force of its incinerating heat. I killed the last Dual Horn. That left the two dragons, both of them I picked up my sword and attacked with the Sting attack that father taught me. With the sword still stuck in the chest I jumped up and sliced its head in two, but I was so fast that head was still in tack when I turned and slipped the sword in and out of the others neck I hacked the two until they were theoretically and totally minced, but still were able to do one last attack. They both breathed their last breath of fire and exploded in a shower of blood and gore, and that put out the fire.
I looked at the walls, "Looks like we have our fist a most likely last winner of the death row."
I walked out side of the room and was handed a tissue and wiped off the blood off of my face. "Was that suppose to be a challenge, don't make me laugh." I projected to Reno.
"You're a cold hard fighter. Lets just see if you can keep that attitude up with Tseng," his face was cocky as ever.
I smiled, "I'm not the one sweating."
I picked threw my weapons and placed them on my person, Cerberus in the seat of my pants, Navan on my shoulders, in their back holsters dragon and phoenix, put on Beowulf gauntlets, and lastly I threw the sword up and turned my back to it and it landed into is sheath with out any incident.
"Show off," Reno said.
"You know you like it," I told him.
I just liked to show people how strong, agile, good looking, and all around great I was. I hoped on the chopper's landing gear.
Reno tapped my shoulder, "Not this time sweet heart you're getting into the helicopter."
I gave him my ya right face and mentally told him, "Who's going to make me…you? Do you really want to try it?"
"Fine, just don't get sick, can't have you sneeze on the president or the director."
Idiot. I've never been sick a day in my life, I thought to myself angry.
The flight was boring so I spent most of the ride training my balance, tight space fighting and when I got bored of that I played Navan and did acrobatics on the landing ruts of the chopper. When it was twenty feet from the ground I jumped off and tucked and rolled to absorb the impact.
" Crazy Psychotic Suicidal Freak."
"Ph, I could say the same thing about you right now, talking to a half demon like that. You have to want to die and…" I pulled out both my guns for emphases and continued, "I could help you with all of that in only a few moments."
He took a step back and cockily smiled, "You really are a crazy person aren't you? Demon's don't exist except in the sense that people have their own personal demons to deal with."
I looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the entire universe and told him, "Think what you will, but I know better."
That was all I was going to 'say' to him. If I would have even thought of talking like that to father I would have been in a little tiff faster than you could say 'damn it'.
I heard a strange noise of extra large feathered wings flap towards were we were. I looked up and saw a large black bird with a viscous looking beak full of hard sharp boney teeth like things.
"Whoa boy," Reno said.
"That can't be good," Rude finished.
I cracked my knuckles, neck, and shoulders, "Super sized pidgion. Time to do a little pest control."
Reno grabbed my shoulders, "What are you crazy? That is one jumbo sized zuu and its intent is to kill you."
"Well I'm a half devil and my intent is similar to kill it…" I pushed him aside, "Step aside while I pluck this goose."
"Are you mad? One bite then that will be the end of you," he told me grabbing my arm.
"Phhh right, you worry too much."
"And you don't worry enough, you're reckless."
I pulled out a random weapon and it just so happened it was Narvan, "what are you going to do with that play bad and hope it will kill over?"
"Oh funny, stay out of my way," I pushed past him, "Alright big bird time to clip your wings."
I had Narvan slung over my shoulder, and pointed the guitar at its beak.
Each flap of the wing seemed to get more turbulent with each sweep of its long black wings. It without warning made a quick jab at me with his beak and I had no problem dodging its slow attack.
"You're going to have to better than that," I said, and began to jam on the electrical strings and electrically charged bats materialized from no were and rammed themselves into the creature. It grabbed at my body and I slipped thru the gaps that it left and sliced up with the hidden scythe cutting off one of its legs.
It bellowed in rage and pain. It kicked up dust even fierce than before, "your all bluff."
I took off its head with the scythe swipe and I was out from under it before either blood or body touched my exposed skin.
"Bloodless victory," I said handing Reno my guitar.
"Bloodless? You could have been killed, not to mention all the blood on the pad," he gestured to the spurting veins of the beast.
"I meant bloodless for me."
I packed away the Navan weapon. Slung the bag over my shoulder and looked at them, "You wanted me to meet someone."
Watched as Reno looked infuriated at the thought of me meeting his bosses,
